How much did it cost for you to spray your truck with line-x or a comparable product? also please tell regular bed/stepside, long/short, under/over the rail

 

my GF dad had his done for his s-10 so thats comprable to rangers. it was over the rail rhino for $270

 

last time i actually heard a price for line-x over the rail was about 350-400. well worth it.

short bed fleetside.^^^

 

Mine was $400 I believe. Line-X over the rail, 6 foot "regular" bed.

 

mine was in the neighborhood of 350-400 for a Rhino liner Can't remeber exactly.

Not to high-jack, but is there a consensus as to which is better and why? Line-x or Rhino? It seems like Rhino is cheaper.

 

i did the walmart crap in a friends truck did alright after a while started to give in

but it pays to play so id just go ahead and kick out the money for the big boy..

 

Here is my $0.02 I had Rhino in my 04 and it chipped on the tailgate edge from the four wheeler ramps once, I took it in and thye fixed it (lifetime warranty). Never had another problem with it. Might try Line-x on the next truck just to compare. I will never do that Herculiner again, That stuff doesn't hold up to any abuse.

My Line-X over the rail [styleside bed] cost me ~$400
i doubt there ever will be a consensus on which is better, but it is definitely between Rhino and Line-X

 

Linex -$299 not over rails. I like the Linex cause it's not as rough/course as the Rhino.
I have black SS bedrails. I bought some Clear vinyl 3M Stoneguard that am going to apply over the lip of the tailgate. They say it isn't damaged by the shot from a pellet gun also if it's over a headlight The leanses won't be damged. It's not cheap.
I did this for the look I wanted on my truck. The bedrails match with black steprails and black grille guard.
I have only had the Linex in a couple of weeks so I can't say yes or no.

 

I herculined mine and it was not worth the effort I put into it. Next time I will pay.

It has held up great. I have loaded concrete chunks. which dented my wheel wells and it didn't crack or scratch.

 

My Line-X was $400 in 2004. It is over the rail on a 6' styleside (regular) bed.

Line-X also has a lifetime warranty. I damaged mine (unsecured junk Ford 9" carrier) and the Line-X dealer fixed it quickly.

 

I bought Herculiner from Fleet Farm for 60 dollars and me and brother put it in ourselfs and it turned out excellent. I have 2006 6 foot regular style bed.

 

the difference to me is the material...

Line-x is sprayed thiner, and it a harder compound... lifetime no matter what warenty(sp)
rhino, thick, rubbery, same warrenty...

I think it just comes down to prefference as to what you like.

 

bought my truck used with the line-x in it and i absolutely love it..looks a hell of a lot better than a scuffed up bed and definately serves it's purpose.

 

My dad just got his done on his 06 F-150, it was like $398 total for Rhino.

i hear about $400 for line-x....is the way to go

 

Haven't used them, but I've heard that line-x doesn't color-fade as bad as rhino. I think I read that on ORR, I can't remember.

 

I had two business trucks with each brand. The Chevy 2500 had Line-X and the Dodge 2500 had Rhino. Both of them chipped and both were repaired no questions asked by both dealers. The compound is the same, coast to coast. The difference is application by dealer and how lazy the grunts are in the prep process.

As for Herculiner...I put in about six or seven hours of prep and application time into my Herculiner on the burnt Ranger and for $60 it was a hell of an investment. When I had my old flareside, I got about three thick coats out of the one gallon can. It held up awesome working construction and throwing just about everything you can think of in the back. I'm gonna use it on my fleetside except I'm gonna buy an additional quart(or two) to get the same coverage as I had on my flareside. I think 1 gallon is insufficent for a regular size bed.


It's a bedliner....lol

If your street queen needs to have a bling bling bed then both retailers sell a reconditioner*cough*way over-priced*cough*. I always used Pro-Prep, made by Silkolene, it's about 9 bucks a can. It's basically Armor-All on crack.

 

i will say that line-x and rhino is unbeatable for their warrenty and if you plan to beat it up... but i have hurculiner and for my purpose of just looking good and providing some extra protection compared to a bare bed or plastic liner you cant beat it... just takes some time to put on, and in my case i did 1 coat over top the rails, two on the side walls and about 3.5 on the flat bed....

 

Yea, you got me there. I don't know, some people care about stuff like that...

 

up here it cost 421.19 including tax for under the rail of rino liner. the guy said that it would be $100 more for over the rail. this is for a 6 foot regular side.

 

my brother just got his Dodge 2500 short bed and the rocker panels done for $500 from Line-X.....

i got quoted $275 for under the rail Line-X at the local dealer for my truck bed....

 

98$ for herculiner kit, extra quart, 3 spray cans of duraliner, sandpaper, acetone and tape. And I beat the crap out of my bed, herculiner holds up well. i know a lot of people had have problems with it but It has always worked really well for me. We put it in my dads 95 f150 which is used as a choker truck now for the logging company, it takes the abuse. It starts to fade and wear in like three years, but just clean it and touch it up with some more. Oh ive got a regular bed fleetside. Good luck, post pics when you get it done..
ps.. I went over the rail with it.

 

When I checked about getting my lower rocker panels done all the way around, Line X was 450 the 25 per wheels well and that was about 6 months ago. Also, from what I have read, line X is better, at least for the rockers when stuff is constantly being thrown on them......
